Keytracking FX

Post by Nauree » Fri Aug 03, 2018 1:29 pm

Hello,I was listening through some songs and in one of them they did this kinda cool thing where they'd apply a delay to the bassline when they went up an octave and it made me curious if it's possible to set up some kind of keytracking with the FX in ableton where it'd trigger a delay in this case whenever you played a note within a certain range?

It's of course easily done with regular automation, but would be interesting if you could stuff like this with keytracking.

Thanks!

Forgetting MIDI and setting a parallel FX Chain in a Rack filtering out the unwanted frequencies before a delay may be much easier to set up.

But you can assign MIDI keys to anything MIDI assignable in Live, not only single keys, but key ranges too. For FX will probably require a 2nd empty MIDI track routed into the FX.

And of course, there is always M4L.
